Love your content guys! You're the Best 😊😊❤❤❤❤

[@antondzajajurca7797]

*off topic: who's the author/artist of paintings in your video(s)?

[@jordankiiza6393]

Hey @Peopleprofiles please let's settle with this narrator he is just the best

[@jordankiiza6393]

Kindly share the name of the theme song at the beginning of the video

[@jamstagerable]

In Massachusetts right now, looking outside my window across the park at the statue erected to honor Lafayette and his glory.

[@loriboufford6342]

That's really cool

[@danyf.1442]

Everybody give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman! LAFAYETTE!!!(now back to watching after the compulsory Hamilton reference lol)

[@arlonfoster9997]

Dany. I loved the musical Hamilton I saw it on Disney in 2020 and I laughed and cried. I love the actor who played Lafayette and Jefferson and I love Anthony Ramos the actor who played both John Laurens and Philip Hamilton. Now I can’t ever think of Philip without thinking of Anthony Ramos.

[@arlonfoster9997]

I still love it and listen to tracks on KZbin

I literally sing this when I see the name😂

[@arlonfoster9997]

@@lisaqwh I loved the musical. I heard reading from historical accounts that Lafayette lamented to his wife that he missed his old friends from the Revolution who had passed on including Laurens and especially Hamilton 😭

“When the government violates the people’s rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensable of duties” Marquis De Lafayette

[@steph1433]

Nice to see people appreciation of a Frenchman, rare❤✌️👍👍

[@skate103]

Rare to have a Frenchman to appreciate!

[@Theiliteritesbian]

Give us a few more good ones and we will happily celebrate. We are just never ever ever educated about anything but the french revolution and 1939-1945 where they don't even mention the resistance, Vichy France, De Gaulle (sp?), or again anything good. Right now, Americans are silently jealous of French balls and their ability to actually protest effectively with a coherent message - and that the french protest against policy, and not just our innate human nature that policy will not change (BLM since u are french). Keep up the protesting! It might help our people rediscover our power and our rights. This video also focuses on his early life - which is incredibly boring.

[@OfficialTexan]

Yea we love him here in the USA, especially with a whole new generation learning about and appreciating him since the release of the Hamilton play.

[@ncprealty3844]

I am envious of your pronunciation excellence. Your precision speaking skills are exceptional.

[@pamvancleave6722]

I love hearing stories from historical peoples that we wouldnt have otherwise heard too much about unfortunately. Thanks for doing the leg work!

[@carolarnone2027]

My Ancestor was with George. Washington at Valley Forge and Saratoga. Loved this program and know it must of given hope to my Great ggggg grandfather he was 18. God Bless America

[@simonaxlz]

Ohhh this should be good. What a pleasant surprise.

[@deejaysyn420]

BRAVO

[@chinesecabbagefarmer]

Just finished listening to "The Hero of Two Worlds" audiobook, this couldn't have had more perfect timing!

[@S_M_360]

Excellent audiobook

[@jeffreygroenewald8408]

I hope there will be a documentary on Adrienne as well. Her devotion and strength of character must be deserving of at least as much recognition as Lafayette's headstrong accomplishments.

[@Raised-Right]

Here in America, a lot of small towns that have a Washington street, have a Lafayette streer parallel. Most Americans dont even know of his existence now days.

[@user-fj9io5mw9v]

Just because you do doesn’t mean we all don’t

[@Knight_of_NI]

This is BY FAR the best "Profiles of Pathfinding People of the Past" 😉👏😉

[@chapter2unit4]

One of the greats, an icon

[@Martin-jk2ng]

I have always loved Lafayette. What a guy. Brave, principled. He was truly a gift to us in America and for France.

[@TheAngev]

He's a Republican who defended the monarchy. That's what I call principled.

[@Nicksonian]

Lafayette in my home town. A most excellent and enlightening biography of an important man. I only ever knew the basics of Lafayette’s aid to the Americans in the revolution. Several miles from me in the city of Annapolis is a historical marker on the spot where Lafayette encamped with 1,200 troops on their way to the pivotal battle of Yorktown. The next time I stroll by the place Lafayette once commanded troops, I will have a better understanding and greater reverence for the man.

[@johnirush4115]

One of the most outstanding biography, I have ever come across. I love and respect his passion. I hope you make one on Marcus Agrippa, I feel like he is very underrated

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Your content is the best guys! ALWAYS so well laid out and with so much depth! You rock!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@B4ck-in-Time]

an incredible interesting age in the history of europe. I'm curious about the stories hidden in the fog of battle that none of us can imagine or ever hear because theres nobody to tell them.

[@ggwoman]

Read.

[@eliteviktor3]

Missed this narrator, great stuff!!

[@TheRealBatCave]

The real champ here is Lafayettes wife.....she had his back 💯

[@neptunenx01]

Best narrator on the channel❤

[@neilhannan5112]

We Need a Movie based on him like his story says fiction it's not ❤ List of His Achivements (1) Serve as an major general for Washington during American Revolution (2) Helped Started the French Revolution (3) He Protested against the French Emperor Napoleon (4) Returned the United States and was greeted as A celebrity (5) he was Given the chance to Lead the July Revolution of 1839 declained it

[@ABeautfulMess]

I grew up in Mount Vernon Va. The home of George Washington. I never knew much about him other than Washington adored him..I have seen the key😅

[@rosanamartinez8906]

Could you do Francisco de Miranda? That would be very interesting.

[@daleschleicher7794]

great story

[@scottiebaisden3655]

My GGG Grandfather came over with Layfayette in 1777 he was from Bastogne France which is Belgium now. He took the name Baisden after the town.

The Home of the US Army Airborne nd Special Operations, Ft Bragg, NC is right beside a city names after The Marquis.... Fayetteville, NC

[@jameskpolkastronomyhistory5984]

Been missing out on alot of your uploads because I'm busy like 90% of the time

[@katherinecollins4685]

Great documentary

[@marymarywhyyabuggin]

Great upload, thank you! Now, let's get a video about a mostly forgotten hero of the American revolution, Brigadier General Daniel Morgan. If you want another foreigner who helped in the Revolution, try Thaddeus Kosciuszko or Casimir Pulaski of Poland.

[@amandatarver2947]

We used to celebrate Pulaski Day in Illinois

[@dlbstl]

​@@amandatarver2947Do you know when we stopped?

[@pjtrant]

Can only think that Lafayette’s wife must have been an incredible woman too for sticking by him for better or worse.

[@jodywho6696]

Great video. ✨🇺🇸✨💙💜💚💛✨

[@nellypringle2875]

Naivety and idealism are two sides of the same coin, aren't they. As are passionate and adulterous, apparently! He was a hero with heroic flaws.

[@user-ct3mu4xk5v]

Lafayette est mon chéri !!!!

[@daleschleicher7794]

on the DELAWARE RIVER and LEHIGH RIVER 40 miles north of Philadelphia. Pennsylvania is a small town of EASTON PA has La Fayette College which is 20 miles east of the Lehigh River area where I live.

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

Nice narration video about one of the revolutionary knights in America's battlefields and library love's adventures in France 🇫🇷 and the USA 🇺🇸 . As soon as possible, the french revolution slaughtered her sons. ( same unfilled behavior was repeated around the world, Thank you for sharing..

[@jodywho6696]

I wonder about the relationship between Thomas Pane and Hamilton. All three were togeather at Valley Forge. ✨

[@A_A_A402]

I love your channel

[@richardbetancourt2662]

To complement your excellent piece on the Marquis I think we all would like to know a great more of his selfless wife, Adrienne. And what became of George Washington LaFayette? Does the family line still exist in France?

[@Jaimelhistoire]

Bonjour oui elle existe toujours la lignée lafayette

[@williambarr2698]

To his memory be honor. He was an American hero and served George Washington with loyal dignity. It is unfortunate he was unable to replicate the American experiment in France. Our struggle continues in America but guided by the loving memory of our founders. God Bless America and the ideals of a republic.

[@georgepatton93]

Fascinating story i would say, by all means, in terms of ability, he is rather average in my observation, but in terms of characteristics and the sheer magintude the man exuded due to his strong personality, he achieved some impressive accomplishments in his time, hell I'd consider the man one of the few idealists that knew to reign how to reign himself back in from going too over board

[@user-nl7wc9fx2g]

Lafayette could most certainly be accused of naïveté, just as so very many others throughout history who pursued a dream. His well-meaning intentions & vision were ahead of their time, and, to his immense credit, he refused to betray his principles. While both the French royalists & the common people disliked him for their own partisan reasons, Lafayette did, indeed, dedicate himself to work for the betterment of his country & his people, for which he deserves only admiration & respect. MANY countries of the world today need citizens such as Lafayette. joeinbuenosaires 😎

[@celestejohnston6613]

He may have been somewhat naive but I don't think he was obsessed with revolution but rather obsessed with fighting for the people and their rights, which is wholly admirable! It seems that he often thought people were more rational and reasonable than they actually were!

[@andrewkappler5503]

I live in Pennsylvania there are so many statues, monuments, and streets after this man

[@Hwd371]

Why is the mistress a betrayal? Wasn’t it part of life there and expected?

[@anthonyfriolet-landry9664]

You have good French prononciation. 👍

[@phunkboxx]

I can't believe he was only 20!

[@MrDarthBudda]

27:15 Some of the Tribes sided with the USA

[@dirk-janlugtmeier6609]

I think he was a passionate man with his heart in the right place, but in the end unable to steer things in his desired direction. A fate simular to most people in the turmoil of great changes.

Can you do Jennifer hale love the video

[@ahoj7720]

Lafayette is buried in the Picpus cemetery with the handful of American soil he had brought back. The US flag flies above his tomb. It is said that the flag remained even when the US were at war with Germany and France was occupied by the Germans.

[@jordankiiza6393]

Anyone with the name of the theme song at the start of the video ?

[@richardverghese1353]

his ideals of the people and freedom but with a monach, that model was in britain, democracy was with parliament with a crown figure head.but he hated britain .he could of played a bigger role , but had one foot in each camp. he should of stayed in america.

[@garrysekelli6776]

So Lafayette was only 20 years old during the American revolution. Somehow I invisioned him as somewhat older. Most of the English and american generals were old fahtz.

[@arlonfoster9997]

Woah. This guy had an affair in France? I had no idea uh oh ladies and gentlemen did Lafayette perhaps think of his own affair when he heard of his friend’s Alexander Hamilton’s Reynolds Pamphlet from back in the US?

[@Hallahanify]

I thought a marquis was a very high noble title? Just under a duke? But the video says they were lower nobility

[@Thefatandy]

La Fayette The reigning 2 time civil war champion

[@user-ct3mu4xk5v]

Noailles is prononced No-eye.

[@dan_38]

arguably, the result of being so naivete is the only thing holding back the view of being an opportunist who'd do anything to get his results

[@jonathanlaver346]

Washington started French Indian war by attacking them .then not paying the tax for British troops and expecting the British commener to pay

[@jodywho6696]

Absolutely. ✨

Back when the French actually had backbones.

[@Tedger]

All the hate french have gotten in past 20 years...

[@Theiliteritesbian]

I have a book recentlyish written about him. I cant get past the first 100 pages because a few paragraphs on how he grew to disdain the ornate and oppulant french court would have been better than taking me an hour to confirm the french were freaky and dicks - as continues to be the case.

[@aelfredrex8354]

Ah, Lafayette. Bought his commission and was a crap general. But we love him because we're told to.
